Hippurate, the conjugate base of hippuric acid (IUPAC name N-(Benzoylamino)acetic acid), with MW =179.1727 and formula C9H9NO3, is a natural metabolite that serves as a general indicator of kidney function. Levels of hippurate ions are a useful measure of kidney function, especially after surgery in patients with renal cell carcinoma (cancer of the kidney).
